Players’ equipment:   Shinguards are mandatory. No jewelry, casts, splints, hard barrettes or hair ties, beaded braids, friendship bracelets, bandannas, hats or sunglasses or allowed.  Medical bracelets must be taped to the wrist.

Substitution:   All  AYSO games limit substitutions to the end of the quarters, halftime, and if an injury occurs.

Spectators and Coaching Area:   All spectators are on one side of the field, with coaches and players on the other side (except in the Under-6 division, where teams, coaches, and parents are on the same side of the field).  Two coaches and a Team Parent may remain in the coaching area opposite the spectators.

Good sportsmanship:   All spectators are asked to refrain from coaching the players or heckling the coach or referee.  The coaches are volunteers, as are the referees.   Arguing with the referee is not allowed in AYSO or any other soccer league.
